Origin

While waiting for Liu Shangshang to come back, Wu Zhongyuan briefly asked Li Shangshang about the situation of the White Bear Clan. Although the White Bear Clan are all beasts, they also have the habit of stockpiling food to prepare for shortages. It seems that there are quite a lot of them here. It is very cold, and the captured prey will not spoil and can be frozen and stored for a long time.

Simply speaking from the perspective of storing food to prepare for shortages, white bears are better than many humans. Wild animals know how to store food to deal with unexpected situations, but many people do not have this concept, especially modern people. Many people spend as much as they earn. Nowadays, there are I'm drunk today, I eat well and drink well, and I live quite a comfortable life, but once I encounter an unexpected situation, I'm dumbfounded. If I get sick and cause a disaster, I have no money to deal with it, so I can only borrow money from here and there, and I'm in a mess.

You still have to have a sense of urgency. No one knows what bad luck will happen to you one day. You must have at least enough money for emergency medical treatment. If nothing else, a kidney transplant would cost three to four hundred thousand. If you don’t save enough, Before the number, there really shouldn’t be any sense of security.

Although the White Bear tribe had a large reserve of meat, Wu Zhongyuan was not tempted because the journey was too far and transportation was inconvenient. What attracted him was another thing, sulfur.

Animals generally have parasites, especially wild animals. Although the temperature in the ice land is very low, white bears also have parasites. In order to deal with these nasty parasites, they found and occupied a mountain top. This is not ordinary. The top of the mountain is a mine that produces high-purity natural sulfur. White bears come there every now and then to drive away insects.

When it comes to sulfur, the first thing many people think of is that it can be used to repel snakes. In fact, the biggest use of this substance is not to repel snakes and insects, but to make gunpowder.

Earlier, he brought all the craftsmen from the Rat Tribe of the Southern Wilderness back to Middle-earth. These craftsmen have been secretly manufacturing gunpowder everywhere. However, due to the shortage of raw materials, the manufacturing of gunpowder has been progressing slowly and there is not much in stock. High-purity sulfur ore is also very rare in nature. Wu Qin sent people out to look for it many times, but all failed.

For a person from modern times, Wu Zhongyuan is very clear about what sulfur means. Having enough sulfur means having a large amount of gunpowder. After all, sulfur is the key to making gunpowder. Compared with high-purity sulfur, in addition The two raw materials for preparing ** are saltpeter and charcoal, which are easier to obtain.

This sulfur mine must be taken down, at all costs.

Not long after, Liu Shangshang returned, and the three of them left the Yu Clan and took off to the west.

After taking off, Wu Zhongyuan looked to the northwest. After becoming Taixuan, his senses were sharper than before and he could see farther than before. However, there were many tall icebergs in the distance, and his line of sight was still blocked hundreds of feet above the ground. Li Shangshang could not be seen. The said Yanyun Island.

I feel relieved if I can't see it. If I can see it, it may be bad. You must know that Bai Qianshou is a high-level cultivator. He can see Yanyun Island. Bai Qianshou can also see it from Yanyun Island. This place has been attacked by demons before. If Bai Qianshou knew that there was a war in the Yu clan, he would be more vigilant and it would be very difficult to sneak attack on it.

When he attacked demon monsters, he frequently triggered lightning. The battle occurred in the morning, the light was bright, and the lightning was triggered at low altitude. It was unlikely that Bai Qianshou would see it. Since he couldn't see it, he naturally wouldn't. I heard that the thunder caused by the Fury of Thunder is smaller than the normal thunder, and will never be higher than the sound of the cannon. The normal sound of the cannon is only about 150 decibels, not to mention that there is a mountain in the middle. , even if it is transmitted from an open area, it cannot exceed three hundred miles.

After careful consideration, Bai Qianshou probably doesn't know what's going on here. If it really finds out that there is a war here, it will definitely come over to find out. After all, for it, the Yu Clan and the White Bear Clan are its dining table.

It will not allow others to lift its table and smash its pot.

The White Bear Clan is located due west of the Yu Clan, only three hundred miles away from the Yu Clan, and only three people could reach the place after half a stick of incense.

Unlike the Feather Clan who live in the mountains, the White Bear Clan's settlement is a peninsula. The so-called peninsula is the land that extends into the sea. It is surrounded by sea water on three sides and only one side is connected to the land.

This peninsula is about twenty to thirty miles in radius. There are several criss-crossing peaks on the island. The White Bear tribe used local materials and moved ice blocks to connect these peaks from the mountainside to form a huge wind-shelter palace. .

However, saying that the White Bear Clan built a palace is really speaking out of conscience. To be fair, this is not a palace at all. At best, it is a huge shack, or a large cave built "man-made".

The reason why the White Bear Tribe chose to make their home here is because of the special terrain. There are concave bays on the east and west sides of the peninsula. The seawater temperature in the bay is relatively high, attracting a large number of fish.

White bears don't only eat seals, fish are also their staple food. When the three of them arrived, there were many white bears fishing in the bay, and there were also white bears lying down and resting in other areas of the island.

Compared with their descendants, polar bears, these white bears are even bigger, almost twice as big as polar bears. Upon noticing the arrival of the three people, the white bears on the island stood on two feet and looked up. At the same time, they let out low roars and looked in their eyes. There is also a lot of vigilance in it.

Li Shangshang seemed to know the habits of these white bears very well. He did not hover in the air, but landed directly outside the cave. "I am Li Shangshang, the leader of the Yu Clan, and I want to see your king."

There were two white bears guarding the cave outside. Hearing Li Shang's words, one of the white bears came over from the entrance of the cave and asked in a loud voice, "What are you doing here?"

"We want to see your king and discuss important matters with him," Li Shangshang said.

White Bear did not answer, but circled around the three people, opening and closing his nostrils at the same time, smelling the scent of the three people.

Wu Zhongyuan didn't feel nervous about the white bear's close approach, but he was very curious. This was clearly a white bear. How could the bear's mouth speak human language?

Bai Xiong turned back to the three of them and looked directly at Wu Zhongyuan, "Who are you?"

"He is our distinguished guest." Li Shangshang said.

Seeing the doubts in the white bear's eyes, Wu Zhongyuan looked directly into its eyes and said, "I am the savior of your white bear clan. Call Gore out to me quickly."

Wu Zhongyuan called the Bear King by his name, which made the white bear very dissatisfied. He made a deep nasal sound while lifting his legs off the ground and standing up high.

Seeing that it was trying to intimidate, Wu Zhongyuan did not hesitate. He concentrated his energy on his right arm, urged the energy to punch, and the extended aura was like an extended arm, hitting the bear's head hard and knocking it to the ground.

Not only Bai Xiong did not expect that he would suddenly take action, but Li Shangshang and Liu Shangshang also did not expect it. Seeing Wu Zhongyuan's sudden action, they both frowned and secretly thought that it was not good.

A large number of white bears gathered around the cave, but something happened suddenly. They didn't know what happened. They just roared and roared without attacking.

The white bear that fell to the ground did not faint and struggled to get up. Wu Zhongyuan sensed this and kicked it several feet away with his right foot. He then turned to look at the other white bear guard, "Are you coming here to beat me or go in and report?"

The white bear didn't answer, and let out heavy puffs of breath from its nostrils. After breathing for a few times, it bent down, changed from standing on two feet to four feet on the ground, and ran towards the cave.

At this time, the white bears on the island had already discovered that outsiders were intruding, and surrounded them from all over. The white bears who were fishing from the bay also climbed onto the shore and moved quickly towards the location of the three people.

Wu Zhongyuan turned around and looked around. It was still unclear how many white bears there were in the cave, but there were at least several thousand outside. However, the limbs of these white bears were all intact, and no front paws were missing from any of them.

Li Shangshang guessed what Wu Zhongyuan was looking for and whispered, "Bai Qianshou likes to eat live food, and all the white bears sacrificed died outside."

Wu Zhongyuan's nose trembled slightly and he did not answer.

After waiting for about three minutes, a group of white bears walked out of the cave. There were more than a dozen white bears in total. These white bears were bigger than ordinary white bears. The white bear walking in the front was a one-eyed dragon. There were four scars on its face, which should be One of the scars left over from the fight was across his left eyebrow, destroying his left eye.

"It's Gore." Li Shangshang whispered.

Not long after, Gore led a group of his men out of the cave, first looked at Li Shangshang and Liu Shangshang with his one eye, and then fixed his gaze on Wu Zhongyuan's face, "You dare to go wild in the Bear Clan, don't you want to live? "

"Speak politely to me. It's easy for me to kill you." Wu Zhongyuan raised his eyebrows and spoke. There are many benefits to having strong strength. One of them is that it can save a lot of unnecessary trouble. There is no need to go around in circles or use tricks. Direct hard power Crush.

Wu Zhongyuan originally thought that Gore would be furious, but he never thought that Gore would show restraint. After stopping his restless men, he asked loudly, "Do you want to challenge me?"

Wu Zhongyuan reached out with his right hand, and dark purple aura condensed from his fingertips, "Are you sure you are worthy of my challenge?"

Seeing the dark purple color of the aura lingering on Wu Zhongyuan's fingertips, all the white bears, including Bear King Gore, looked horrified. Although they were aliens, they also knew what the deep purple aura meant. In this remote land of ice, , not to mention the deep purple is too mysterious, even the light purple has not been seen in Jushan for many years.

"Li Shangshang, do you want to seize the hunting ground by the sea?" Gore asked Li Shangshang.

"Don't get me wrong, we are not here to fight," Li Shangyuan pointed at Wu Zhongyuan, "This is the head of the Wu clan of the Bear Clan in the Middle Earth. He is here to help us."

Hearing Li Shangshang's words, the hostility in Gore's eyes was greatly reduced. He turned back and glanced in the direction of Yanyun Island, then turned back and looked at Li Shangshang.

Li Shangshang nodded.

Seeing that Gore still knew how to avoid others, Wu Zhongyuan took a high look at him. It seemed that this one-eyed dragon was not as stupid as Li Shangshang said before.

After a brief thought, Gore said in a deep voice, "It's windy outside, come in and talk."

After Gore finished speaking, he turned around and went ahead, followed closely by his subordinates. Sisters Wu Zhongyuan and Li Shangshang walked at the end, keeping a certain distance from Gore and others.

"Gore is not feeling right today." Liu Shangshang said in a low voice.

Wu Zhongyuan tilted his head to look at her.

Liu Shangshang said, "Gore is vicious and cruel. He seems to be a different person today. Be careful that there is a deceit in him."

Wu Zhongyuan smiled. Both humans and animals have two sides. Whether they are ferocious and cruel or kind and friendly depends on the person they are facing. Wolves are ferocious and cruel in front of rabbits, but they are not in front of tigers. Act violently and wantonly.

However, Gore's awareness of current affairs also saves a lot of trouble and can negotiate related matters faster. In fact, he has no grudge against Gore and does not want to kill it. It is precisely because he does not want to kill it that he takes the initiative to show his strength. , to avoid Gore’s ignorant encroachment.

Deliberately hiding one's strength, waiting or even luring the other party to offend, and then punishing him. This behavior is called pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger. It seems very enjoyable, but in fact it is very superficial. It is not only superficial but also hypocritical, and can even be called vicious. , Good people disdain to do this. Show your teeth as soon as possible, let the other party retreat before the difficulties, and avoid unnecessary killing and injury. This is what a benevolent person does.

The white bear's cave is so big that an airplane can fly in. There are many caves on the left and right sides of the cave, some of which store prey. There are often snowstorms here. Once there is a snowstorm, the white bear cannot go out to hunt. There are also some caves that serve as maternity rooms for female bears. The entrances of the caves are not blocked, but there are turns inside the caves to ensure privacy.

The cave is sheltered from the wind and the temperature is relatively high. There are many young bears playing inside, and they are not afraid of people. When Wu Zhongyuan stopped to look at them, several cubs ran over and hugged his legs.

Wu Zhongyuan wanted to pick one up, but found that Gore and others entered a cave on the right, so he had to give up the idea and quickly followed.

The cave that Gore and others entered was not the end of the cave. There was still a large area inside. However, there were no lights in the cave, and it was pitch black deep in the cave.

This cave is only a few dozen square meters and does not have any furniture. There are only some flat rocks with a very smooth surface. It should be the place where the white bear usually lies.

There were more than a dozen white bears who came in with Gore, and they all squatted on the left side of the cave with Gore. Sisters Wu Zhongyuan and Li Shangshang sat on the right side after entering the cave.

Wu Zhongyuan had been freezing outside for a long time. After entering the cave, he felt tired and lazy, so he raised his hand to Li Shangshang, indicating that she should tell Gore the relevant situation.

While Li Shangshang was explaining the situation, Wu Zhongyuan took out the dry food from the bag and ate it. It was too cold and the dry food was frozen hard. The White Bear tribe only ate raw food. There was no hot water in this poor place.

After Li Shangshang finished speaking, Gore's subordinates seemed very excited, but Gore's "man" looked gloomy and remained silent.

"Gore, are you scared?" Li Shangshang asked.

"I'm not afraid. I dare to challenge it. How can I be afraid of it? But we have nothing but this skin and flesh, so we can't give out a thank you gift like you." Gore looked very ashamed.

"I need sulfur stone." Wu Zhongyuan didn't hide it.

"Let's give up Sulfur Stone Mountain." Gore was happy.

Wu Zhongyuan shook his head, "I don't want mountains, you just need to send them to me in one trip. According to your estimate, how much can you send in one trip?"

"A lot." Gore probably had no concept of weight.

"Okay, that's it. You have to work hard and send the sulfur stone to Dakuang when it is done. I will send someone to pick it up and prepare food for you." Wu Zhongyuan said.

"No, we carry the food ourselves," Gore said.

"How long does it take to get to Middle-earth from here?" Wu Zhongyuan asked again.

Gore looked confused, it had never been to Middle-earth.

Li stepped forward and said, "The white bear runs very fast and has good endurance. It can reach the northern border in seven days, and it can reach the middle earth in half a month at most."

"Okay, I'll have to trouble you to help them lead the way then." Wu Zhongyuan said.

Li Shangshang nodded in agreement.

Wu Zhongyuan stuffed the last bite of rice cake into his mouth and clapped his hands, "Okay, tell me about Bai Qianshou's situation, body shape, appearance, daily routine, temperament and hobbies, etc., and also describe the situation on Yanyun Island in detail. , don’t omit all the details..."
